I pray that your life be filled with spiritual consciousness, And that YOU will be able to deal with people, With the love and honesty, That YOU yourself would like to receive. That YOU will find a personal happiness, and having this, That you will create happiness for others. That you will have the sensitivity, DEDICATED TO A SON
to search beyond the superficial. And that you will possess an understanding. That will enable YOU Not to judge others too quickly or to harshly. I pray that YOU will have the confidence. To stand for the ideals in which YOU believe, And that you will have the strength of character, To know your own mind, and yet not close it. I hope that YOU will have a strong and healthy body, An Intellect to be valued, And the stamina and energy to achieve your ambitions. That you will accept your successions with humility, And access your failures and short comings with self-respect. I pray, that YOU will face life with an adventurous spirit, And thrive on the diversity and complexity of ‘mankind’. I hope that YOU will be unafraid to love and be loved, And that YOU will experience the pleasure of being a friend, And sharing friendship. I pray that YOU will often feel the love Generated by your relatives, and friends, I pray that someday YOU will be able to reflect upon your life, With pleasure and a sense of well being, And that YOU may, Some day experience… The thrill and wonder, of having a child of your own to love. My DARLING SON I love YOU very much. And I promise to do everything To make all your dreams come true.
